I would have to agree the 9mm has fewer malfunctions than the .45 ACP.

First the size has a lot to do with the way an auto feeds with the springs the larger and heavier the round has more of a chance to jam. I have seen both rounds jam but the 45 does jam or miss feed more frequently than the 9mm.

However, hands down I prefer to carry a .45 than the 9mm. My Glock 30 has fired flawlessly but my 36 has hung up due to carbon build up when I shoot Blazers.
